Since the beginning of the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga, fans have been treated to exciting new techniques showcased by the protagonist, including Rasengan Uzuhiko and the Flying Raijin.

While these techniques have stirred up excitement among fans, they’ve also left many questions about how Boruto acquired or developed them.

One such technique that has remained shrouded in mystery since Boruto: Naruto Next Generations manga is the Jougan dojutsu.

Is Jougan canon in the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga?

Yes, Jougan is indeed canon in the Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga. Although this dojutsu has yet to make an appearance in the new manga series, evidence confirms its canon status within the Boruto manga universe.

The Jougan initially appeared in the very first scene of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations manga—the flash-forward scene depicting Boruto and Kawaki engaged in a fierce battle at Hokage Rock.

During this intense moment, as Kawaki activated his Karma, Boruto, in turn, activated both his Karma and the Jougan. This pivotal scene solidifies Jougan’s presence and Boruto’s future utilization of this unique dojutsu.

Considering that the events depicted in the flash-forward occur within the timeline of Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, it’s certain that the Jougan will feature prominently in the manga series. However, the precise timing of its introduction remains uncertain.

It’s clear that Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga will find the origins of Jougan and Boruto’s journey in mastering this mysterious dojutsu—a narrative thread left unexplained in the previous Boruto manga series.

What do we know about Jougan?

Up to this point, not much has been revealed about Jougan in the manga, except that it is a unique dojutsu associated with the Otsutsuki Clan, acknowledged as a particularly troublesome ocular ability.

Additional insights into Jougan have been provided through the anime series. Similar to other dojutsu, Jougan grants its user the ability to perceive chakra flow, enabling the tracking of targets based on their chakra signature.

Furthermore, Jougan allows the user to discern the chakra pathway system, tenketsu points, and dimensional barriers.

Fans can anticipate further exploration of Jougan’s capabilities and significance as Boruto’s story unfolds in Boruto: Two Blue Vortex manga, offering fresh insights into this enigmatic dojutsu.
